Third Marijuana Arrest in Alabama

[superdank]

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Alabama

I've had 2 arrests for marijuana both 2 years ago and both dropped with youthful offender.


Recently, I had the DEA use the knock and talk technique, coming into my house and finding my jar of 94 grams.
I just received a copy of the police report. They took a scale, baggies, grinder, and my marijuana.. but i was only charged with 1st degree possession

I don't know how to go about this...does anyone have any experience on how I can prove this information on the report is incorrect and they twisted my words?
I want to attack the dea


Also how are my chances at looking to get this off my record? I'm 21 and having a felony for marijuana like this will ruin me for life.

thanks all

I'm 21 and having a felony for marijuana like this will ruin me for life.

My advice: Stop using and selling marijuana.

As for the rest....you need a lawyer.

[Mr. Knowitall]

The DEA came, as in this is a federal charge?

[Lehk]

knock and talk, as in you consented to police coming into your home which you were dealing drugs out of?

do not attempt to represent yourself in court unless you are hoping for some free food and shelter for a couple of years.

sorry i didn't state this clearly.

first off i wasn't selling marijuana and yes i will never smoke again, or at least until i move to colorado.

anyways, i have a lawyer and he told me to review the police report and outline everything is wrong with it. there's alot wrong with it.
west alabama narcotics not DEA, they had no warrant, just a tip that i had a large amount of marijuana in my home. i had 93 grams.

i didn't consent to them to come in. they came inside without permission and kept asking me if i had narcotics in the house and said yes and led them to my bedroom where i had my jar.

they got a scale and baggies but i was only charged with possession.


anyone have advice on what to do?

So you are going to argue the scales and bags are for personal portion control? Yeah, that's been tried before. Even if you GIVE the stuff away to be charitable, you are still under the Federal law (and most states including Alabama) to be a drug pusher, and that is a felony.
If you can't live with being a felon, you shouldn't have committed the crime.

We can't help you. This will definitely require a real lawyer who can, under the appropriate rights and privileges, look at the circumstances of your case.
